Barryd999 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Remember when we discussed the VIP fast lane for Tory Cronies supplying PPE (most of it useless) and it was poopooed on here as nonsense by the usual suspects? (well just one suspect now). Well those fantastic people at the Good Law project just won their case. GUILTY! (again). https://goodlawproject.org/update/high-court-vip-lane-ppe-unlawful/ This should be as big news as Partygate but I suspect it wont be.

Bulletguy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Excellent news and a triumph of common sense over evil corruption. Thank God for the tenacity of Jolyon Maugham and the GLP in bringing the criminality of this corrupt government to justice. "Never again should any Government treat a public health crisis as an opportunity to enrich its associates and donors at public expense." That ^^ needs engraving in stone over the entrance to the HoC......with Johnsons head on turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It and he are both doomed long term and those that backed it and him are slowly waking up to that fact. Those that opposed both Brexit and Johnson dont need to do anything anymore really.

Barryd999 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Gremlin - 2022-01-12 5:13 PM As regards the actual Court Findings, this is surely pretty much an empiric one? The Judge said that whilst it was unlawful to provide preferential treatment “both companies were likely to have been given contracts anyway” She also said that “both of the companies offers justified priority treatment” and that due to there “merits” they were “very likely” to have been awarded contracts even without the VIP Lane. She further stated that the evidence “establishes that the presence on the ‘High Priority Lane’ did not confer any advantages at the decision making stage of the process”. BUT she said it was clear that “offers that were introduced through the senior referrers received earlier consideration at the outset of the process. The Judge confirmed that the High Priority Lane team was better resourced and able to respond more quickly to offers but she also found “sufficient financial due diligence” was carried out in respect of both sets of contracts. Given the panic at the time re PPE ……….? Blimey. Those were just the two they could make stick. Its been totally obvious from the minute Johnson took over that they are as bent as a nine bob note. The list is endless of the bungs and preferential treatment for Tory chums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dragged on so long and caused so much division to go against their beloved deliverer of the Sumplit Uplands would be too much of a betrayal for many. They probably live in constant fear of it all been taken away from them and supporting Johnson as sad and desperate as that might seem is their only option.

He parroted all the silly soundbites his followers could memorise easily and chant mantra fashion like an army of automatons. Take a look at the actions of American cult leaders Jim Jones or David Koresh as an example. Johnsons cultists support their Dear Leader because for them he can do no wrong and as Barry said, they live in constant fear of their precious Brexit being taken away from them and Johnson is their last hope, their Great Protector. The cult is crumbling though as back on planet earth with project reality, Johnson is now facing calls to resign from Tory MP's. He's finished.

Bulletguy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This is how European countries see the clown in number 10, and what he's done to this country. European media painted a devastating picture of a “vain, fickle, hypocritical opportunist” with an “elastic relationship to the truth” who only ever “played at being prime minister”. Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung said in a brutal editorial that it had “only ever been a matter of time” before the British prime minister was exposed to one and all as the emperor with no clothes. “Boris Johnson has never really changed,” the paper said. “He’s always been a seducer and a loudmouth. Always lied when it’s in his interest. He is the great illusionist of British politics.” Johnson’s “remorseful confessions” and “submissive contrition” would do little to change things, the paper said. He may have “posed as Churchill” and looked like “the saviour of the kingdom” after his election victory in 2019, but unlike his historical hero, “Johnson has himself led Britain into an existential crisis, for which he bears full responsibility. “He has not given up his frivolous, unserious nature. His fickleness is revealed in his government’s absence of strategy. Snobbery explains his lack of interest in the state of the country. Boris Johnson doesn’t govern, he plays at being prime minister.” For France’s Le Monde, the last couple of months have proved “calamitous” for a “bumbling politician” whose faults – “opportunism, no attention to detail, an elastic relationship with the truth” – everyone seemed ready to forgive, until now. The prime minister’s fall in popularity has been “so brutal that his immediate future appears to be in jeopardy”, the paper said, with many Tory MPs “now doubting his ability to lead the party to a fourth consecutive victory” and the rightwing press turning on him. For Libération, too, “gone are the days of arrogant victories, electoral landslides and spicy slogans. Two and a half years after his election, prime minister Boris Johnson is up against the wall. The party is over – and so are the jokes.” In the Netherlands, NRC Handelsblad said the scandal was “just one of the many difficult developments Johnson has to contend with”, citing soaring living costs due to “inflation, high energy prices and the negative consequences of Brexit”. https://tinyurl.com/277mej4h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good piece here. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/14/conservatives-boris-johnson-leader-election "Like a dog that could not be sorrier for chewing the sofa, it was a contrite prime minister who prostrated himself before parliament this week. Dogs are never truly sorry, of course. They have learned that if they whimper, hang their heads and look pathetic when caught, they can defuse their owners’ anger. But they don’t actually feel sorry, because dogs don’t think like that. They just want the shouting to stop......... Boris Johnson isn’t going to change now, because if he did he wouldn’t be Boris Johnson. He’s going to keep running his government much as he once ran the Spectator magazine office – which famously boasted half-empty bottles of wine on all the desks and a ping-pong table in the garden, plus the general air of what one visitor memorably called a “knocking shop” – for as long as anyone lets him, although that may not now be very long. He’s not sorry, or not in the meaningful sense of resolving to change. He just wants the shouting to stop. But that’s not going to happen now."
